I don't know why someone down voted you. Breaking Bad is my personal favourite but I know quite a lot of people who thought that it was too slow so they never gave it a real chance. I can understand that but to me that is a part of the appeal. I just watched Homeland and that is a thrill ride, every episode (especially season 2) doesn't let up. Breaking Bad is just more grounded, and I like that.

Never watched The West Wing. Might download the first season later today. I watched the first season of Breaking Bad and kind of got bored with it. Never watched the wire but I have heard so much about it.

Idk it is a toss up between many shows, I'll say either The Simpsons because it is one of the longest running, except they got shitty after 2010, but Friends is also a contender since they used to have one of the highest payed actors per episode.

Firefly is the poster child for great series cut way too early. It is the 7th highest rated TV series ever on IMDB - making it the highest rated Sci-Fi TV series ever, despite being canceled in its first season - and despite some of the most incompetent programming decisions in the history of TV. After refusing to start the series with the pilot episode, Fox insisted on playing the other episodes out of intended order, making the over-all story arc impossible to follow; they changed the show time without good reason, and then canceled Firefly after only 10 episodes, because 'it failed to establish a following.'

Firefly was made by Joss Whedon and Tim Minear, and is full of sympathetic complex characters with interesting back-stories, witty dialog, beautiful imagery, plots exciting and full of sudden 90 degree turns, and all interwoven within a compelling story arc which reveals itself, a bit at a time, with just the right mix of realism and epic adventure.

Wonderfalls was the next series to suffer at the tender mercy of Fox's incompetence. It was created by Bryan Fuller, the same guy who did Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me, together with Todd Holland, director from Malcolm In The Middle, and Tim Minear of Firefly fame, long time Joss Whedon collaborator, who helped produce, direct and write not only for Firefly, but for Angel, Drive, Dollhouse, and Terriers as well.

It stars the brilliant and beautiful Canadian actress Caroline Dhavernas and is one of the most truly unique shows ever on TV.

Like they did with Firefly, once again with Wonderfalls, Fox managed to seize defeat from the jaws of victory. They started the series mid-season with little advertising, and hoping to steal some of the audience from Joan of Arcadia, they intentionally mislabed Wonderfalls a drama instead of a comedy. They played the episodes out of order, changed the show time with little reason or notice, and then canceled the show after only 4 episodes, not even bothering to show the other 9 episodes they had already made - again because it had failed to gather a following.

Like Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls has tremendous charm, beautiful imagery and a wonderful sense of humor, and like Firefly, Wonderfalls has a great cast, sympathetic characters, brilliant dialog, and plenty of 90 degree plot twists.

Btw Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly) is a guest star in some of the episodes and Lee Pace (yes the pie-man from Pushing Daisies) is a regular on the series. This is a must watch for Firefly fans and Pushing Daisies fans as well.

And like Firefly, Wonderfalls was canceled by Fox - so you know it had to be good.

Probably Top Gear. I went to a taping of that once and it was rather awesome to see how much James, Jeremy and Hammond actually interacted with the audience when the camera wasn't rolling. The whole time, they pretty much took questions and answered them! They also made fun of us for our tastes in cars...

Another amazing comedy show has to Whose Line Is It Anyways. Whenever I'm sad, I just sit down with my cookie dough and play these... Colin and Wayne<3

I don't really have a problem with the more scripted stuff as its just what the producers want the hosts to say. The nice thing about that show, is its still their show! One of my favourite recent episodes has to be their take on The Sweeney. It was just hilarious!

Parks and Recreation is my favorite comedy TV show without a doubt. I would recommend starting with season 2 because that's when the show really hit its stride. You'll figure out the plot of season 1 in about 10 minutes.

Also, IT Crowd and Friends are great if you are into canned laughter comedy.

See, we watch this in AP NSL when our teacher is out and the entire show is based upon people swiftly walking somewhere. If you took out all the scenes of people rushing down a hallway, you'd have one or two minutes of nothing and the title sequence.
